Some high-priority wells uninspected in New Mexico

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The number of high-priority oil and natural gas wells on federal and tribal land in New Mexico has nearly doubled over the past two years, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is racing to keep up with inspections.

BLM officials in New Mexico say they have nearly 650 wells that are classified as high priorities due to their production levels, risks for contamination, the safety records of their operators and other reasons.

They insist they’re on track to have them all inspected by the end of September thanks to the creation this year of a special strike team. Similar efforts will likely be needed next year. “There’s no end in sight,” Sheila Mallory, the BLM’s deputy state director for minerals in New Mexico, said of the oil boom that has been driving the need for more inspections in the Carlsbad and Hobbs area. Southeastern New Mexico is now one of the most pro-

ductive regions of the oilrich Permian Basin. New teams of BLM technicians are being brought in every two weeks from other parts of the state to deal with the 428 high-priority wells in Carlsbad. So far, more than 80 percent of those wells have been inspected.

There are 161 high-priority wells in nearby Hobbs and another 55 on federal and tribal land in northwestern New Mexico. Mallory said inspectors are caught up in most areas of the state but still have work

to do in Carlsbad and Hobbs. Nationally, an Associated Press review of government data of drilling inspections for fiscal years 2009 to 2012 shows about 40 percent of the nearly 3,500 new wells near national forests, watersheds or otherwise identified as higher pollution risks were not inspected by the BLM. While roughly half or more of wells on federal and Indian lands in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming went unchecked, nearly two-

development,” said John Horning, executive director Santa Fe-based of WildEarth Guardians.

thirds of the wells identified as high priorities on federal land in New Mexico were inspected during the fouryear period. Like BLM officials in other parts of the country, Mallory blamed a lack of manpower and budget cuts. Environmentalists say the agency is ill-equipped to deal with the oil and gas boom in the West. “It’s a bad situation that will only get worse as (President Barack) Obama puts the final screws to coal and looks the other way on gas

BLM officials in New Mexico are hopeful Congress will approve a budget request that would give the agency authority to assess inspection and enforcement fees as it does with offshore drilling. The request has been made by the Obama administration for the last four years, said agency spokeswoman Donna Hummel.

Horseback ride to cantina is a family tradition BY JEFF TUCKER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Luis Morales, atop his horse aptly named “Tequila,” leads a group of horseback riders into El Gomez Cantina south of Hagerman Saturday. About 30 riders from the Dexter and Hagerman areas rode horses to the cantina Saturday as part of a family celebration.

It’s not every day one sees a big thirsty horse in a bar — depending on how much one has to drink, of course. Visions of horsemen enjoying a cool drink atop a large-hoofed domestic animal during a triple-temperature-digit day Saturday after noon were no mirage, however. About 30 horsemen from the Dexter and Hagerman areas rode to El Gomez Cantina south of Hagerman Saturday as part of Hagerman’s Old T imers’

Day. The riders said the event is a family tradition. “We’re all friends and family,” said Beto Regalado. “We’re all from the same neck of the woods. We get together on Old Timers’ Day and just ride. We’d like to see more riders.” Some of the riders ducked their heads to get under the entrance door and rode their horses into the cantina Saturday. The horses didn’t seem to mind all the attention and flashing cameras, and

Flamenco art makes Motor Supply gets stay of execution return to AMoCA SUBMITTED

Maria Benitez Institute of Spanish Arts returns to the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Arts as part of the Xcellent Music at AMoCA series. The performance is on June 21 at 7 p.m. at the museum, which is located at 409 E. College Blvd. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and admission is free. The ISA is a Santa Fe based organization that gives flamenco classes and workshops to children and adults year -round. The per for mance was wellreceived last year, and both the museum and the ISA are anticipating a colorful and engaging performance this year as well. Maria Benitez established the Maria Benitez Spanish Dance Company in the early 1970s. This company, which later changed its name to the Institute for

Spanish Arts, has focused on teaching an performing a Flamenco style that is uniquely New Mexican.

According to Art Tucker, operations manager for the ISA, the performances are a fabulous representation of the state, as it showcases the heritage of New Mexico. The performance will be done by a group of ISA dancers called Flamenco’s Next Generation, which is a group of dancers that have been training with Benitez for the last decade. Flamenco’s Next Generation is the group that Benitez has passed to torch onto, and they have had several summer seasons in Santa Fe, where they present both classical and new world flamenco.

The Roswell Motor Supply was scheduled to be demolished this morning, with a plan of leveling the structure and reclaiming the wood and metal in the building for use in furniture. That is, until a group of concerned citizens, led by T rey Nesselrodt and Miranda Howe, stepped in, asking, what would it take to prevent this piece of Roswell history from being destroyed. The answer came in the for m of a cash figure of $50,000. They were told that they have 12 hours to raise $50,000 for downpayment on the lot and buildings, after which they could negotiate terms of the sale. So, a plan came together to find 500 Roswell citizens to donate $100 in order to save the historic site.

Miranda Howe and Trey Nesselrodt address a group of community members that have come together with a plan to save the Roswell Motor Supply lot from demolition.

At halfway to the deadline, enough community members had pitched in to reach more than $10,000, but the group was still short of its goal. However, this was enough to warrant a postponement of the demolition, but it is

unclear if this means a few days, or a few hours.

In a meeting organized by Nesselrodt and Howe on Saturday, they discussed the initial plan with those that had already put up their money, as well as several other stakeholders

Senate bill doubles spending on vets’ health

WASHINGTON (AP) — Spending on veterans’ health care could double in three years under the Senate’s solution to the long waits experienced by thousands seeking medical care at VA hospitals and clinics, according to congressional budget experts. Analyzing a bill the Senate passed overwhelmingly last Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the measure would add $35 billion over the next three years to the $44 billion the gover nment now spends annually on medical care for veterans. Both the Senate bill and a House version also passed this past week would dramatically expand government-paid health care. They would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay private providers to treat qualifying veterans who can’t get

Drone training on the rise in New Mexico

ALAMOGORDO (AP) — Holloman Air Force Base is devoting more and more time to training pilots in the use of drones, according to an Albuquerque Journal report. The number of students lear ning how to operate remotely piloted aircraft, or “RPAs,” at the Alamogordo base has multiplied. Holloman of ficials say more than 700 people are enrolled in the training program this fiscal year. That is a significant increase from 136 graduates when the program first began in 2009. Lt. Col. Calvin Powell, a training squadron commander, said the base still cannot meet the demand from the drones while maintaining enough air crew. The use of drones in combat missions in Afghanistan and elsewhere continue to draw criticism. Human rights groups say U.S.-operated drones led to civilians getting killed in two attacks in Yemen within the last five years. In a 2103 report, Human Rights Watch said those attacks “killed civilians indiscriminately in clear violation of the laws of war.” The report also stated other drone attacks “may have targeted people who were not legiti-

prompt appointments at the VA’s nearly 1,000 hospitals and outpatient clinics or who live at least 40 miles from one of them. Once the program was fully in place, the budget office said it expected that veterans “would ultimately seek additional care that would cost the federal government about $50 billion a year” — double current spending. The bills are Congress’s response to a growing uproar over patients dying while awaiting VA treatment and mounting evidence that workers falsified or omitted appointment schedules to mask frequent, long delays. The resulting election-year firestorm forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign two weeks ago. An audit released last week showed that more than 57,000 veterans have

mate military objectives or caused disproportionate civilian deaths.” “There are humans in the chain from the start to the finish,” Powell said. “Any time you have humans involved, there is always opportunity for human error. However, we go to great lengths from the very beginning of our training to minimize that aspect of it.” At Holloman, student pilots never leave the ground for drone training. They study by manning simulated missions, according to the base. The facility currently has four MQ-1 “Predator” drones and six MQ-9 “Reaper” drones. The Predator is about the size of a Cessna 172 and can haul two missiles and fly up to 20 hours. The Reaper, nicknamed “Warthog” for its large size, can carry up to four missiles and two 500pound, laser -guided bombs. It can fly up to 16 hours.

The VA has confirmed that at least 35 veterans died while awaiting appointments at VA facilities in the Phoenix area, although officials say they can’t say whether not getting VA treatment caused any of the deaths.

More than 8 million of the nation’s 21 million veterans are now enrolled in VA health care although only about 6.5 million seek VA treatment every year. The CBO analysts said VA now covers about 30 percent, or an average $5,200, of those veterans’ annual health care costs, excluding longterm care.

alone in the woods, authorities said. Two people on mountain bikes who had joined the intensive search for Ida Rothschild of Santa Fe, N.M., located the girl in Samuel P. Taylor State Park after hearing her calls for help from a hillside, television station KTVU reported. “I’m fine, Mom,” Ida told her tear ful mother after they were reunited, according to KTVU. The mother told the station that her daughter said she had walked through the night trying to reach her family and didn’t know so many people were looking for her. The girl was found about 2.5 miles away from the campsite. More than 100 sheriff’s deputies, search and rescue workers from neighboring counties, Califor nia Conservation Corps members and volunteers worked through the night looking for the girl, who was visiting the park in Marin County with her parents and two younger brothers Friday afternoon when she disappeared. Another hundred had resumed the painstaking search early Saturday, along with search dogs and an airplane. It was the largest search for a missing person in the county in seven years, said Lt. Doug Pittman of Marin

County Sheriff’s Department. Pittman described Ida as “feisty.”

Her parents reported her missing after spending 90 minutes looking for her. Her father had last seen her about noon Friday and realized she was gone about half an hour later.

Dust stirs health alert for Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Environmental officials are warning of high levels of dust in Albuquerque.

The state Environmental Health Department issued a health alert to take effect until 8 p.m. Saturday.

The agency says high winds are blowing dust, contributing to particulate pollution.

Officials say people with asthma, chronic bronchitis and other respiratory or heart diseases should limit outdoor activity.

Residents who are particularly sensitive should also keep windows and doors closed.

According to the alert, children and senior citizens may also be more vulnerable.

some of them were of a legal age to drink, but had already filled up on water placed outside in anticipation of their arrival. And no — no horseplay was allowed inside the establishment either, by horses or humans. Regalado said some horses will willfully just walk into a dimly lit bar, while others are skittish and may need some coaxing and a shot of oats for courage. “Age makes a difference, stuff like that” Regalado said. “They’ve been in here before. It’s a fun ride. Horses were the first to plant fields, the first to plow fields. Horses are older than tractors. They don’t realize horses were here before them. That’s why we ride.” Jose Rodriguez, 12, of Hager man, rode for the first time to the cantina with his family. He said it wasn’t the first time he or his horse had been inside a bar. “It was good,” Rodriguez said of the ride to the cantina along New Mexico State Road 2. “I like spending time with my horse.” Fidencio Ramirez, of Dexter, was with his 21-yearold son, Anthony Ramirez, passing the equestrian tradition along to the next generation. “We do it for fun,” Fidencio said. “We’ve done it for many, many years. I used to do it before they ever did this. We do it every year for Old T imers’ Day. People used to do it way before us. That’s how they got around. I guarantee people before we got here were riding horses to this bar.” Anthony Ramirez said it’s a fun family activity.

Jaime Lopez, of Roswell, said horses run in her family. “That’s always been our life, is horses,” Lopez said. “My horse wanted to come and have a drink.” Lopez said this year’s ride was bittersweet because of the absence of her grandfather. “It was our first year without our grandpa,” she said. “Every year, we would have it. It was good. It just got kind of windy towards the end, but it was good.” Frank Sanchez, of Roswell, said he and his brother started the family equine tradition several years ago to celebrate their father’s birthday. “We’d ride out here and have a big ol’ party in Hagerman,” Sanchez said. “It’s a remembrance for my grandpa, so it means a lot,” said his daughter, Natasha Perez, while perched on her grandfather’s 25-year -old paint horse, Cochise. Cantina owner Sonia Gomez said the horse ride to her cantina takes place every two years in conjuction with Hagerman’s Old Timers’ Day. She said it’s looked forward to by many. “It’s very unusual,” she said. “Today, I said ‘Open the door for the horses.’ One of the guys said ‘I bet you’ve never said that before.’” Sonia said horses are part of the remote area’s tradition and culture. “We’re out here in the country,” she said. “Horses are a part of our lives out here.”

ership of the building. Nesselrodt described it as being similar to the structure of many community pools, where the nonprofit would manage the property on behalf of the donors. The details of this, of course, are still being worked out.

Kintigh was very supportive of the plan to save the site, and mentioned that if the site was indeed saved, he would pursue

city support and involvement to help preserve and utilize the site. He mentioned that once the site is secure, he would like to entertain the feasibility of creating a supplemental tourism and visitors center for the city of Roswell in one of the buildings, which the city would lease from the nonprofit. He went on to say that utilizing the site in this manner would be the perfect place to put an informational kiosk, and would help direct tourist traffic to places like Main Street Arts, the Isaacs Gallery,

The Liberty, Third Street Station or even Stellar Coffee. Although the nonprofit has not been set up, the Roswell Interarts Organization has stepped up to the plate, and will be taking in the donated funds on behalf of this yet to be formed group. It will hold the funds, which will be used for the purchase. If the purchase does not happen, then the funds will be sent back to the people that have donated. So, the clock is still ticking, and this community group is still looking for

people that want to help preserve Roswell’s history and culture. It needs just over 300 people to step up and pledge $100 to the cause, although, any amount is helpful.

It is asking people who are willing to help to contact either Howe by phone at 575-914-0331 or by email at howe.miranda @gmail.com or contact Nesselrodt by phone at 575626-8626. Checks can be made out to Roswell Interarts Organization with “Save Roswell Motor Supply” in the memo.

OPINION I

Pearce’s plan to localize health services could reform VA

A few weeks ago as I was watching yet another report on the TV news about the unfolding scandal at the Veterans Administration in Phoenix, where a whistleblower has alleged that 40 veterans died while waiting for treatment, I couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Sharon Helman, director of the Phoenix VA hospital. In this news segment, a TV crew was stationed in the parking lot of the Phoenix hospital waiting for Helman to pull into the parking lot and then corner her on camera. Helman pulled into the lot, but quickly turned around and sped off when she spotted the news crew. I wasn’t envious of Helman because she got to be on camera, I’ve been on camera a few times myself. I was envious because of the car she was driving, a Mercedes-Benz roadster. Nice ride. According to one car resale website, the market value for a 2013 roadster is around $53,000. I wish I could afford a car like that.

TIMOTHY HOWSARE

RIPCORD INTO REALITY

Helman, the flashy blonde in the flashy car, eventually drove back to the VA building and spoke to reporters in her office, giving typical bureaucratic “non answers” to all of their questions. Helman, whose annual salary is $169,900, has been placed on administrative leave and was ordered to pay back a $9,345 incentive bonus, even as the hospital she oversees was being investigated over allegations that Arizona VA officials “cooked the books,” falsifying data on delays in doctor appointments that may have caused some veterans to die while awaiting care. According to one news source,

12,549 bonuses totaling more than $8.7 million at the seven troubled VA facilities were paid out during the last three years. The report said Phoenix VA workers received $843,000. If all of that is true, then why can’t that money be used for its original purpose — to fund health care for veterans? It is mind boggling to think that 15 percent of the total civilian workforce is employed by the VA. All of this reminds me of actor Michael Douglas’ famous “greed is good” speech in the movie “Wall Street,” where his character, Gordon Gekko, tells an auditorium filled with corporate shareholders, “Teldar Paper has 33 different vice presidents each earning over $200,000 a year. Now, I have spent the last two months analyzing what all these guys do, and I still can’t figure it out. One thing I do know is that our paper company lost $110 million last year, and I’ll bet that half of that was spent in all the paperwork going back and

forth between all these vice presidents.” In the real-life scenario with the VA, it is the taxpayers who are losing millions of dollars a year. And the veterans themselves are sadly the biggest losers. Currently, veterans must travel to VA hospitals for the majority of their treatments. This distance can often be a major roadblock to health care for veterans living in rural areas who have to travel long distances to reach the closest VA hospital. Veterans in Roswell and surrounding areas are faced with this challenge. This was reported in a frontpage story earlier this week by Jerry Heck. Veterans are reimbursed 55 cents per mile for their travel and are put up in hotel rooms if they have to stay overnight in Albuquerque or El Paso. Heck described how one local veteran had to stay overnight in Albuquerque to receive hearing aids (after waiting two years), when

he simply could have gotten the very same hearing aids here in town if the VA reimbursed a local doctor or clinic. A World War II veteran who came into the newspaper recently showed me “progress notes” from his visit to the VA in El Paso last November. During his appointment, the doctor advised that it was unsafe for him to drive back to Roswell because he had macular degeneration and was “blind in one eye.” While waiting in the lobby for a taxi, the veteran apparently got frustrated and drove himself home. He told me he recently passed the eye test to renew his driver’s license. Wouldn’t it be great if veterans living in rural areas didn’t have to travel to hospitals hours away for their appointments?

Congressional VADD. Veterans’

Attention Deficit Disorder

In looking for answers to the question of how things went so wrong in the Department of Veterans Affairs, one need look no further than the U.S. Congress. That body — with an unwitting nudge of help from the United States Supreme Court — overlooked for at least six years a series of reports from the VA’s inspector general that warned of trouble. The reports told of dangerous patient backlogs and unreliable record-keeping in the VA health care system. Red flags were everywhere. No one was paying attention. On Wednesday, the Justice Department formally asked the FBI to review materials provided by the Veterans Affairs inspector general. Initial reports of the request did not say how far back the examination would go.

The inspector general released an audit Monday that said more than 57,000 veterans nationally have been waiting for up to three months for medical appointments. Another 64,000 veterans who enrolled for VA health care in the past decade have never been seen by a doctor. St. Louis comes in for criticism as being among the cities where new patients have some of the longest average times waiting to be seen by a medical specialist. The average locally is 86 days, compared with the worst, Harlingen, Texas, where it is 145 days.

Most members of Congress would probably rather that the scrutiny end, too. They looked the other way for many years before the scandal broke. In referring to the new audit, which examined 731 VA hospitals and large outpatient clinics, acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said it showed “systemic problems” that demand immediate action. “Systemic” was also the word used by the VA’s inspector general’s audit that was released following reports that at least 40 veterans may have died while waiting for health care in the Phoenix VA system. Systemic means “something that is spread throughout, system-wide, affecting a group or system, such as a body, economy, market or society as a whole.” It also means the problems didn’t just crop up. They were a long time in the making. That hasn’t stopped some politicians from acting like this was news to them. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, was among the Republicans who helped force Mr. Shinseki’s resignation. Mr. Moran complained of a lack of leadership in the VA and said that what “really caught my attention in the past year or so — it really seemed people were giving up hope.”

Why wasn’t Mr. Moran’s attention captured earlier, maybe during his seven terms in the House where he not only served on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee but was chairman of the Subcommittee on Health? Now he’s complaining about a lack of leadership? The situation just caught his eye last year? And then there’s House Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., who is urging President Barack Obama to do “whatever it takes” to get the system back in shape and to make sure that vets are getting their health care needs met. His urges are right, but he’s been on the committee for 13 years. Now he’s decided there’s a problem? Just last week, Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and John McCain, RAriz., announced a deal to reform the system.

Mr. Sanders is no newcomer to the VA’s problems. He has been chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee since 2012. Congress is a reactive body, not proactive. The VA is the cause du jour, and there’s political hay to be made by pointing fingers and acting innocent. Gen. Shinseki may have been a lousy manager, and Mr. Obama’s attention was elsewhere. But grandstanding and Obama-bashing by the very people who were supposed to help make sure veterans’ health needs were being met is hypocrisy at its worst. Another factor is money, and this is where the Supreme Court gets involved. Donors put their money where they have a stake in the legislative outcome, and that is not the Veterans Affairs committees.

Libertarians versus conservatives

Both libertarians and conservatives want to keep America safe. We differ on how best to do that. Most libertarians believe our attempts to create or support democracy around the world have made us new enemies, and done harm as well as good. We want less military spending. Some conservatives respond to that by calling us isolationists, but we’re not. I want to participate in the world; I just don’t want to run it. I’m glad Americans trade with other countries — trade both goods and people. It’s great we sell foreigners our music, movies, ideas, etc. And through dealing with them, we also learn from what they do best. On my TV show this week, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton will tell me why my libertarian skepticism about the importance of a “strong military presence” is “completely irrelevant to for-

eign policy decision-making.” Bolton thinks it’s dangerous and provocative for America to appear militarily weak. He supported the Iraq War and says that if Iran were close to getting nuclear weapons, the U.S should attack. “I will go to my grave trying to prevent every new country we can find from getting nuclear weapons,” because if they do, “it’s going to be a very dangerous world.” He criticizes Presidents Barack Obama’s and George W. Bush’s failed attempts at negotiation with Iran, “negoti-

ation based on the delusion from the get-go that Iran was ever serious about potentially giving up its nuclear weapon program.” That kind of talk makes Bolton sound like a hardheaded realist. Who wants to be naive like Bush or Obama? But hawks like Bolton ignore parts of reality, too. They are quick and correct to point out the danger of Iran going nuclear. They are not as quick to talk about the fact that Iran has a population three times the size of Iraq’s — and the Iraq War wasn’t as smooth or short as then-Vice President Dick Cheney and others assured us it would be. If it’s realistic to acknowledge that America has dangerous enemies, it’s also realistic to acknowledge that going to war is not always worth the loss of money and lives, and that it makes new enemies. War, like most government

plans, tends not to work out as well as planners hoped. I asked Bolton if he thought the Vietnam War was a good intervention. “Obviously, the way it played out, it was not,” he said, but, “it’s always easy after the fact to secondguess.” Bolton also acknowledges that the Iraq War did not go well, but then adds, “Where mistakes were made was after the military campaign.” The U.S. was unprepared for the civil war that broke out. The U.S. also failed to turn utilities and other state-run companies in Iraq over to the private sector, maintaining poorly run monopolies on energy production and other essential services, often squandering billions of dollars. It might be seen as a harsh lesson in the importance of planning for the aftermath of

nounces. 3. A means of happiness; that which promotes prosperity and welfare; a beneficent gift. 4. A gift. Grateful praise or worship.” All of these definitions make the act of blessing a positive action toward the recipient. There is a song by Bob Dylan, written in 1973 and first recorded in 1974 that, through its lyrics, is entirely a blessing put to music. The song is called “Forever Young.” It’s message wishes well the recipient regardless of what is happening in the person’s life. Let me speak the song’s words as a blessing over you. The lyrics are as follows: May God bless and keep you always. May your wishes all come true. May you always do for others and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every

rung. May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous. May you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy. May your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung. May you stay forever young. Bob Dylan, after becoming a legend early in his career, had taken eight years of f from touring and in 1974 went back onto the circuit with his

OK, just sit back and relax. I know you deserve it. You just finished a long week. Wherever you are, whatever lies ahead for your day or week, regardless of what has you anxious or uptight right now, just inhale slowly, exhale gently and relax. Clear your mind of your worries and let’s walk a few steps together. And please allow me speak blessings over you. It is my desire that you receive every blessing possible that you can receive. When someone says to you “God bless you,” it is generally in the context of a sneeze. As a matter of fact, the best way I know to have a stranger bless me is to get near the stranger and then sneeze. Which begs the question, “Why does it take a sneeze for one person to bless another?” Anyhow, I think that every-

I’m in a New York state of mind — but somber Roswell Daily Record

BY STEVE WOLFE ROSWELL SAFE COALITION

Some of you know that a group of Roswell singers recently visited New York City and had the privilege of singing on the stage of Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. I was blessed to be one of those! But that’s an entirely separate story. We planned from the beginning to have one free day before the grueling rehearsal and performance schedule began. People planned various New York things on that day off, but many of us chose to visit the “9/11 Memorial and Museum” on that Thursday, which was only the second day that the memorial had been open to the general public. During the week prior, it had been open to allow for some “private” time for the families and survivors of Sept. 11, 2001. Before going into the memorial itself, we were fascinated by the beautiful outdoor fountains, which

proposed such a plan. Pearce has sponsored H.R.635 — Help Establish Access to Local Timely Healthcare for You (HEALTHY) Vets Act of 2013. The bill would allow veterans to access local health care facilities, which will save the veteran time, money and physical strain. The HEALTHY Vets Act would allow veterans to use health care providers in their hometowns by directing the VA to contract with local hospitals and doctors on a case-bycase basis to provide medical services. The bill was originally filled in February 2013 and has been reintroduced. A spokesman for Pearce’s Roswell office said that an additional advantage of a VA-funded local-fee-for-service program is that it would help rural areas by providing an enticement for physicians to open private practices. These doctors would serve veterans as well as all members of the community. The spokesman added

toppling a bad regime. But we libertarians wonder: Why assume government will do better next time? Occasionally government acknowledges mistakes in domestic policy — but that doesn’t mean it then becomes more efficient. It usually just spends more to try, and fail, to fix the problem. It’s the nature of government. Politicians don’t face the competitive incentives that force other people to make hard decisions. Candidate Obama garnered support by criticizing Bush for costing money and lives through a protracted stay in Iraq. But that didn’t stop

Nearby stands the new World Trade Center, a beautiful structure with its upper floors sometimes wrapped in the clouds. As we entered the very interesting building which is the memorial, security is certainly in evidence, but it never detracts at all. Very quickly, we could see that this place of suffering and loss would be a deeply emotional experience. Through the afternoon, as we three friends wandered slowly through the massive below-ground

that discussion is under way to create partnerships between VA and medical schools to facilitate such opportunities. Doctors who opt in would gain valued experience in the treatment of longterm outpatient care of veterans requiring followup treatment from battlefield trauma injuries. The bill has 23 cosponsors. One is U.S. Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., who is a Navy veteran and physician with experience in both the military and veteran health systems. Under Harris’ plan, veterans would be able to opt out of the VA health system entirely, and instead get care through a private health insurance plan. From everything I’ve read and heard in the news, this is good, common-sense legislation that will not only expedite care for veterans but save millions for the taxpayers. Let’s hope this bill actually passes or doesn’t get watered down with frivolous amendments. Our veterans deserve better that what they’re getting now. Timothy P.

spaces, there were several times when we purposely wandered away from each other, seeking to privately calm our own emotions. There are, of course, hundreds of exhibits and artifacts from that tragic day 13 years ago. Three weeks after our visit, in front of our church congregation, I attempted to describe a twisted steel column which had been the point of impact for the aircraft which hit the South Tower. All of a sudden, I was unable to speak for several seconds and I had to step back to gather my composure. While I did not expect that to happen, I am not surprised it did. Someone has said that there is “no way to be in New York and not visit this site.” I agree. It is solemn and an emotional experience, but well done and always respectful to the victims and those left behind.

for a few minutes. Listening to a grandmother tell about her grandson was heart-wrenching! I suppose one could spend hours there, learning not only about Twin Tower victims, but about those who died at the Pentagon and in that farmer’s field in Pennsylvania as well. They are all recognized in the one memorial. I will forever remember this visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. As I walked down those nearby streets of Manhattan which approach the memorial, my mind’s eye recalled the scenes on television of smoke and walls of debris rushing down the streets, and thousands of terrified citizens of New York running ahead. The image remains etched in my mind. It is my intent today to pay tribute to those “first responders” of those days that many years ago. Those firefighters, police officers, other law enforcement officials, and medical personnel from countless jurisdictions, as well as hundreds of volunteers threw

themselves into the depths of hell, fighting to save the lives of their countrymen. In doing so, many lost their own lives. In the 9/11 Memorial, burned out fire trucks and other destroyed emergency vehicles which have now become solemn exhibits are immediate reminders of the formidable task they faced. It is also appropriate that, so far away, here in Roswell we should pay tribute to our own first responders, those professionals who fight fires, who enforce the law, and who render medical aid every day. We pray that such a horrible, massive event never occurs in our own backyard. However, we must remember and be grateful that there are those in our community who are prepared to deal with such an emergency. Steve Wolfe is president of the board of the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

Obama reflects on gun control’s failure

WASHINGTON (AP) — A year ago, on the day a gun control push in the Senate went down in flames, President Barack Obama stood with former Rep. Gabrielle Gif fords and parents of Newtown victims in the Rose Garden and declared, “This effort is not over.” On Tuesday, a mournful president conceded he was ashamed as an American and terrified as a parent that the United States can’t find it in its soul to put a stop to rampant shooting sprees. Barring a fundamental shift in public opinion, Obama said, “it will not change.” “My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to

keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage,” Obama said. No developed nation on Earth would put up with mass shootings that happen now once a week and disappear from the news within a day, Obama said — no nation except America. It was a moment of bleak reflection and weary resignation for Obama, who thought universal background checks were the least the country could do after a 20-year-old with a semi-automatic rifle shot his way into a Connecticut elementary school in 2012 and massacred 20 children. “We should be ashamed

old backup group, “The Band.” During these eight years, Mr. Dylan had become a father. This song was written as a blessing from a parent to a child. Who more would want to speak a blessing on a child than his or her parent? We need to bless our children often and regularly. We bless our children by sharing positive and encouraging thoughts with them about where they are in life and where they are headed. A blessing is not a blessing if it never leaves your mind. It must be spoken or otherwise shared. We should not ask the question, “How can I get blessed today?” but the question, “How can I bless others today?” Tell those closest to you

of that,” Obama said, hours after yet another deadly school shooting, this time in Oregon. “There’s no place else like this.” The candid admission that gun control is all but a lost cause for his presidency marked a stark change in tone. Despite shelving efforts to get Congress to vote on gun control, White House officials have always insisted they haven’t abandoned the issue. In 2013, Obama issued 23 executive orders related to gun violence in an attempt to take whatever modest steps he could without requiring a congressional vote. Obama said he respects gun rights and the American tradition embodied by

that you love them, that you are proud of them. Highlight the positives in others for them. Tell them you appreciate them, thank them for what they do to make a positive difference. Bless them. In the Bible at Psalm 67:1 one of many blessings in the Bible is shared, “May God be gracious to you and bless you and make his face shine upon you.” My challenge to you today is to speak blessings over others regularly and as often as you are able. Whether you are speaking to family or to a stranger, whether you are talking to a 2-yearold or a 92-year-old. Whether you are good friends with the other or worst enemies, speak a blessing over them. I saw a bumper sticker on a car that summed up my thoughts in only five words. It simply said, “GOD BLESS YOU, NO EXCEP-

the Second Amendment. But he blamed the National Rifle Association and wellfinanced gun manufacturers for making lawmakers “feel the heat” if they back tighter gun control.

“Most members of Congress — and to some degree this is bipartisan — are terrified of the NRA,” Obama said, alluding to opposition from some Democrats that helped thwart the Senate effort. He said the majority of Americans support gun control steps but don’t feel passionately enough about it to punish lawmakers who disagree. “Until that happens, sadly, not that much is going to change.”

Roswell Daily Record

Two Roswell students get ink on their fingers F u t u r e j o u r n a l i s ts at t e n d t hr e e - da y w or k s hop at U NM in A l bu qu er qu e STAFF REPORT

The Roswell Daily Record sponsored two students who attended The 2014 New Mexico High School Journalism Workshop at the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque. The three-day workshop was held Monday through Wednesday by the New Mexico Press Association. Representing the Roswell Daily Record were Karly Kunko, who will be a senior this fall at Roswell High School, and Mary Morgan, who recently graduated from Goddard High School. Morgan is working for the Record as a summer intern. Karly, Mary and the 12 other students received newspaper jour nalism training from faculty, high school journalism teachers and newspaper professionals. They worked on news reporting, photography and editing. There was only one boy among the 14 workshop attendees. In just two and a half days, the students produced an eight-page newspaper called “The Future Press” that featured their writing, photography and graphic design. They wrote about the selfie craze, the recent incursion of unusual

weather conditions, like the tornadoes, and their summer of 2014 bucket list. They also got a taste of college life. The students were housed in adultsupervised campus dormitories and ate their meals on campus, just like real college students. There were planned recreation activities at night for those students who could still keep their eyes open after the long hours of putting together a newspaper. Following are essays written by Karly and Mary about their experiences at the workshop. The Roswell Daily Record is proud to have sponsored both of this bright young ladies and will continue to support students interested in studying journalism.

Push America to ride through Roswell STAFF REPORT

Not all frater nity guys spend their summer vacations cruising the beach for chicks and hanging out at the bars. On June 25, a group of fraternity men will spend the night in Roswell as they make a 3,900-mile trek from Long Beach, Calif., to Washington, D.C., to raise money and awareness for people with disabilities. The group of 28 cyclists and nine crewmembers are participating in Push America’s Journey of Hope, a 3,900-mile cycling event across the country. The Jour ney of Hope team consists of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity men from across the country. The team will cycle an average of 75 miles per day ending at the nation’s Capitol on Aug. 2. Every cyclist commits to raising a minimum of $5,500 on behalf of people with disabilities in hopes to enhance their quality of life. The team will arrive at Tobosa Developmental Services for dinner and a friendship visit at 6 p.m. Tobosa Developmental Services is committed to supporting individuals and families challenged by

developmental disabilities. Team members will spend time with the clients at Tobosa. They will sleep over at the City of Roswell Parks and Recreation’s Yucca Recreation Center and be back on the road at 6:30 a.m. Push America’s mission is building leaders of tomorrow by serving people with disabilities today. Push America organizes Journey of Hope each summer, along with other events, in order to promote and raise funds. It is the national philanthropy of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity who founded the organization in 1977 to commit themselves to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. They have been holding the summer bike rides since 1988. Push America and Pi Kappa Phi have raised over $15 million on behalf of people with disabilities and continue to be on the cutting edge of the disability movement.

kids from all over New Mexico come together to lear n how to create a newspaper. On the first day, we got to learn about AP style, writing leads, photography, and fonts. It wasn’t until the second day that the group split up into three groups: reporters, photographers and editors. I was a photographer. I got to walk around campus taking pictures of different summer camps and events that were taking place there. I even got to go into a castanet class to take pictures and learned a few moves as well. Not only did we get to do new things, but we got to meet new people. We got to stay in dorms and eat our meals at the dining hall. It was a great experience seeing as how I will be going to college soon. We as a group got to choose our stories and pictures for the paper. Our group was smaller than past years, but we were able to produce the paper before our deadline. Because our group was smaller, it let us lear n more then just the skills we went there to learn. I learned reporting by writing a story and even got to lay out two pages. Many of us paired up to

help others finish their stories or to help them if they didn’t know how to do something. We worked as a team. They had different things planed, with guest speakers, and we even got to go to the campus paper and see how everything is run. We got to speak to editors and reporters from the Albuquerque paper. As a group, we were able to bond quickly and make new friends. I tend to sit by myself a lot and I don’t tend to do well with group work, preferring to be on my own, but I felt welcomed there and enjoyed going out with the group to get pictures and interviews. One girl and I had a lot of fun taking the pictures and laying them out for

the photo page. We worked really hard during the day to meet our deadlines, but at night, we got to relax and talk and watch movies together. Staying up late to watch “Frozen” and “The Notebook” was a lot of fun. On our last night there, we had to do a scavenger hunt and find and take pictures of places and people. My group got to meet people from Asia and Africa. Afterward, we got pizza and talked while looking at each group’s pictures. Getting to see what the other groups got was fun and hearing their stories made the night even better. It was like no one group had the same experiences. It was nice seeing everyone swapping Facebook, Instagrams, and phone num-

bers. The last day was the hardest day of the camp. No one wanted to leave. We had become really good friends. I really miss talking and eating with them. Although we were sad to leave each other, we were super excited to see how our paper would come out. I was really happy to see the final product. I won’t forget how happy I was reading the other stories and seeing my pictures on print. I really like journalism and, who knows, maybe I will try and procure this as my career choice.

I am so happy that the Roswell Daily Record gave me this opportunity, and hope to maybe get to do it again as a counselor. BY KARLY KUNKO ROSWELL HIGH SCHOOL

In just two and a half days work, 14 people managed to come together to take photos, report and write stories, and edit and design pages to create a newspaper. Coming to the New Mexico Press Association sponsored jour nalism workshop, I was a little skeptical. What will the leaders expect of us? Will we get everything done in time? What if I don’t get along with anyone? However, as soon as those fears became apparent, they were quickly diminished as I arrived at the UNM campus to get

started. I was introduced to the workshop director, Phil Lucey, and I could tell he was excited to start working on the newspaper. After all workshop participants unpacked and met in a group for the first time, we immediately began brainstor ming ideas for what our paper would look like and assigning tasks to each person. It seemed almost overwhelming, and several of us didn’t know if we could get everything done by the time we had to leave. Before starting our individual projects, our leaders taught us a few things about writing style and correct terms when reporting for a newspaper. Being a student who is more familiar with creative writing and using the correct format for essays rather than articles, this section of the workshop was necessary and insightful. After receiving the necessary information to prepare us for the task ahead, everyone was really anxious to begin working. Photographers were spread out across campus searching for the right shot, editors were planning where stories would fit in the template, and the reporters,

including myself, were gathering information and spending the day typing in the computer lab. Everyone was exhausted after a long day of work and I wasn’t the only one who was overwhelmed. But working with people from all over the state was a beneficial experience and receiving input from each new person really improved my writing. There were, of course, breaks for lunch and periodically, silly faces were made on Photobooth when we experienced writer’s block. When the work day was over, workshop participants could watch Disney’s “Frozen” to relax, but those that couldn’t keep their eyes open preceded to the dorms. The second full day was all about finishing touches, and we had a tight deadline looming over us, because the paper had to be completely finished and sent to print at 4 p.m. Even with everyone feeling stressed to complete their tasks in time, we worked together efficiently and made the deadline. We even found time during the day to walk over to the Daily Lobo, the newspaper at UNM, and get a

tour of each section that plays a part in the paper as a whole. It was fascinating to see such an ef ficient group of students who work together to produce a regular paper for all of the students at UNM. We also got to hear from D’Val Westphal, an editor at the Albuquerque Journal. She described her job at the Journal as “the coolest job in the whole world,” and told us about the things they do to print a paper every single day of the year. The fact that the people working at the Journal did what we were doing every single day made us feel better about our task at hand. At the end of the day, we were all relieved our paper was finished, and now we had to wait patiently until it was printed. In the meantime, our director had told us all to meet in a certain room after dinner and none of us knew why. After making our way from the dining hall to the designated meeting spot,

we were told we would be doing a scavenger hunt and taking pictures of ourselves with certain things around campus. This team-building activity turned out to be one of the best things we did while at the workshop. We got some decent exercise and each group got to know each other a little better than they did before. Memories were made and my phone is now full of silly pictures that remind me of the workshop and the scavenger hunt. Once all the groups retur ned from the scavenger hunt, we met in the TV room once more and shared each group’s pictures with everyone, calculating who had the most points at the end and won the challenge. Over pizza, the funny pictures and music, we never really found out who won. The night before we were to leave was bittersweet. We all missed home but we knew we would miss everyone at the workshop and

all of the fun that we’d had there.

To help us with this feeling, the morning we were to leave, our leaders had us write a letter to our future selves about what we had learned in our time at the workshop. This was a great way to say goodbye to the workshop and still have something to look forward to. Finally, we were given our newspaper and we weren’t disappointed. We got to see where all of our hard work ended up and were all surprised, and at the same time proud, at how well it fit together.

Overall, my experience at the NMPA Jour nalism Workshop was incredible and I am extremely grateful to the Roswell Daily Record for sponsoring me and giving me the opportunity to gain knowledge in the field of journalism and create so many lasting friendships and memories.

Dr. Thomas D. Ramage Announces Retirement Effective September 30, 2014

It is with sadness and reluctance that I announce my retirement, but the forces of the government and insurance companies are such that they are producing huge headwinds against the doctor in solo or small group practice. I can no longer see the entire community because of changes brought about by insurance companies and government fiat i.e., I can no longer see Medicaid patients and Tricare patients and remain a viable business. Throughout my 37 years in practice in Roswell, I have seen all comers, but due to changes beyond my control, that is no longer possible. Over the last few months, I have had to lay off 2 people and down-size my Roswell operation. As per the usual consequences when big government pushes its way into private practice, the poor and the working poor are more severely effected. I have chosen to close my office rather than to run a business that is unable to see anyone on Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare, i.e., I choose not to have a selective practice

It has been an honor and privilege to serve you over the past 37 years, and hopefully I have not only endeavored to help your physical health but also your emotional and spiritual health. Some of you will say that at times I behaved more like a priest or a minister in giving you not only medical advice but also hopefully correct emotional and spiritual advice. Doctors must have the wisdom and capacity to minister not only to the physical needs but also hopefully to the emotional and spiritual needs of the patient. It is my hope for all that read this that you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and if you do not hopefully you soon will have done so. For those whom I have helped that is thanks enough. If I have harmed any of you (and I have made mistakes), I ask for your forgiveness. I will continue to see patients at NorLea Hospital in Lovington, New Mexico, and I will attempt to accommodate those who wish to see me in Lovington, New Mexico. I would thank all of my partners and colleagues over the years. For 20 years, my friend and professor Dr. Jerry Dominic served Roswell, New Mexico. Dr. Fred French helped bring modern GI medicine to southeastern New Mexico. Dr. Bob Rader practiced with wisdom and compassion beyond human measure. Dr. Orson Treloar brought modern diabetic care to the forefront in our community. Dr. Pete Rosario was the first pulmonary specialist in our area and later in life, he served as one of my brothers’ physician in Evansville, Indiana. Dr. Vijay Chechani is the ultimate pulmonologist with vast knowledge of ICU medicine and sleep apnea. I also wish to thank my colleagues at Covenant, and I would note my time with Covenant was a very pleasant experience. I will never forget Charlie Trimble who was CEO of Covenant during my tenure of working for Covenant. Charlie believed that hospitals and medical groups should win by being better than the other fellow and not by coercion. Richard Pope remains a dear and trusted friend from the Covenant group. I am most happy to say to my partners and colleagues that we are all still friends and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts in promoting and improving healthcare in southeastern New Mexico. Most of all, I say thanks to my patients and hopefully most if not all of you consider me not only your physician but also your friend. Special thanks to the city of champions, Artesia, America, Lovington, America, and Carlsbad, America. In closing, may God bless America. I WILL CONTINUE TO SEE PATIENTS IN LOVINGTON, NEW MEXICO, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AND WILL DO MY BEST TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE WHO WISH TO SEE ME IN LOVINGTON, NEW MEXICO.

Balotelli leads Italy past England 2-1

Sunday, June 15, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

MANAUS, Brazil (AP) — With one nod of his head, Mario Balotelli gave Italy a 2-1 win over England and put the four-time champions in position to go far at the World Cup. The often volatile and often brilliant Italy striker was left unmarked at the far post, giving him plenty of space to head a cross from Antonio Candreva past goalkeeper Joe Hart for the winning goal. Claudio Marchisio had scored first for Italy, sending a long shot through a crowded area and past a diving Hart in the 35th. Daniel Sturridge equalized for England two minutes later, tapping in a cross from Wayne Rooney. Ballotelli’s header came in the 50th, but with the heat and humidity at the Arena da Amazonia slowing the pace of play in the second half, it came at just the right time. “We won, but now let’s keep our feet on the ground, otherwise we’re not going anywhere,” Balotelli said. The match was played in the Amazonian city of Manaus, the most exotic of the 12 World Cup venues for this year’s tournament. See MARIO, Page B4

Kaymer up by five after third U.S. OPEN

PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — A tough Pinehurst No. 2 tried to make a game out of this U.S. Open. Martin Kaymer always had an answer. Already with one bogey on his card, Kaymer’s tee shot on No. 4 was so deep into the trees that his golf ball settled in sandy patch that had been washed out by rain, stacked up against 6 inches of pine straw. With nowhere to go and no relief available, he turned to USGA President Tom O’Toole and said, “If you have a way to play it, I’ll follow you.” Kaymer navigated his way out of trouble just fine. He escaped with a bogey by getting up-anddown from 165 yards. He followed with an eagle with a 7-iron from 202 yards out of more sand and weeds. And a birdie on the final hole gave him a 2-over 72 and a five-shot lead in a U.S. Open that finally lived up to its reputation Saturday. “I kept it very well together,” said Kaymer, who was at 8-under 202. Now he has to do it one more time, with a dif ferent cast of challengers behind him. Rickie Fowler, with teen idol status in Ameri-

Uruguay stunned by Costa Rica 3-1

Costa Rican players celebrate their upset win over Uruguay at the World Cup, Saturday.

FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) — Watching from the bench, Luis Suarez saw just how much his teammates miss him. Uruguay was overrun 3-1 Saturday by Group D underdog Costa Rica at the World Cup, a stunning result for the team that reached the semifinals four years ago and had every reason to think it could repeat that in Brazil. Even with Suarez staying on the bench for the entire game after failing to fully recover from knee surgery, coach Oscar Tabarez fielded a side that included eight players from the 2010

team. But after going ahead through a first-half penalty, Uruguay was taken apart on counterattacks as Costa Rica scored three times in the second half to open Group D with a major upset. “We made mistakes today that we haven’t made for a long time. It’s too early to explain this,” Tabarez said. “Football means that sometimes you have to lose. You can’t lose heart, you just have to improve.” The Uruguayans took the lead in the 24th minute when Edinson Cavani conSee STUNNED, Page B4

Zuccardi claims crown in Mountain Top Futurity COURTESY OF RUIDOSO DOWNS

RUIDOSO DOWNS — Crowson Racing’s Zuccardi easily moved to the top of the New Mexico-bred 2year -old class with an impressive win in the $340,697 Mountain Top Futurity at Ruidoso Downs on Saturday afternoon. Under jockey Raul Herrera, who was substituting for injured Roman Chapa, Zuccardi found his stride at about the third jump out of the gate and had command of the 350-yard race by the halfway mark. Zuccardi rolled under the wire 3⁄4 of a length in front of Fire The Queen and it was another neck back to third-place finisher Astica. The colt covered the 350 yards in 17.664 seconds while running into a steady 17 mph headwind. In a uniquely bet race in which many of the 10 horses had support, Zuccardi was the 2.6-1 favorite. Six of the competitors were at less than 10-1 odds. Zuccardi is stepping forward with each start. After a disastrous debut in which he flipped in the gate at Sunland Park, he matured when he arrived at Ruidoso Downs. The Anna Marie Crowson-trainee won his schooling race in early May and then was supplemented to the Mountain Top Futurity at a cost of $15,000. The investment paid off. Zuccardi romped to a 2 3⁄4-length trial win with the top time of 17.258 from

She is the dam of champion Alice K White and former 440-yard world record holder Kendall Jackson. Evel Zubiate’s runner-up Fire The Queen also has a promising future. She won her career debut in the Mountain Top trials with the third-fastest time of 17.388. MJ Farms’ homebred Astica was third in her Mountain Top trial and squeezed into the finals with the 10th-fastest time of 17.577. The Matt Falestrained filly won the Desert Classic Futurity consolation at Turf Paradise two starts ago. Astica is closely related to Zuccardi, being sired by Jesse James Jr and out of Champagne Lane’s champion daughter Alice K White. Located in Veguita, New Mexico, MJ Farms bred the top three finishers and four of the Mountain Top Futurity finalists. The top-three finishers all graduated from Ruidoso yearling sales. Zuccardi sold for $38,000, Fire The Queen brought $4,500 and Astica passed through the ring for $50,000.

Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Blatt heading to NBA

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — David Blatt stepped down as coach of European club champion Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday, saying he wanted to pursue his dream of coaching in the NBA. Blatt, 55, told a news conference he was weighing offers from unnamed teams and had “a few good options.” He said he expected to make a decision soon. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors are all believed to be interested in hiring Blatt as an assistant, at least. He said various reports about him have been “mostly correct.” Blatt, who grew up near Boston and played college ball at Princeton, has had a successful career coaching overseas. Last month, he led Maccabi to an upset win over Real Madrid in the Euroleague finals. “I am leaving here not because I was asked to. The opposite is true, I was asked to stay, and offered the best possible conditions for such an event,” Blatt said. “But I just felt it is a move I wanted to make. It has been a dream of mine for almost forever to go and join a team in the NBA in some capacity. I wish I could have done it as a player. I wasn’t good enough. But now perhaps I’ll have that opportunity as a coach.” Blatt capped his four seasons as coach by winning the Israeli Super League on Wednesday. The victory over Real Madrid in the Euroleague final captured the imagination of the Israeli public, with tens of thousands of fans filling downtown Tel Aviv to welcome the team home from the tournament in Milan. Blatt, a former Princeton point guard under Pete Carril, moved to Israel in 1981 after playing for the U.S. at the Maccabiah Games. He had a successful playing career in the Israeli league before beginning coaching in 1993. From 2004-10 he coached at European clubs including Dynamo St

Church group votes to boycott Redskins over name

NEWARK, Del. (AP) — A major sector of the United Church of Christ is calling for a boycott of the Washington Redskins until the team changes its name. The Central Atlantic Conference passed a resolution Saturday to become the latest organization to denounce a name that has frequently been condemned as a racial slur. The conference said it will urge its 40,000 members in D.C., New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and parts of Virginia and West Virginia to boycott the team’s games and merchandise. Conference minister Rev. John Deckenback said changing the name won’t solve the problems of Native Americans, but it “can send a strong message.” There has been increasing pressure over the year for the Redskins to change the name. Team owner Dan Snyder has vowed he will never do so.

MLB: Barnes’ inside-the-park HR fuels Colorado win Roswell Daily Record

Sunday, June 15, 2014

worked a per fect eighth and Trevor Rosenthal finished for his 19th save in 22 chances.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brandon Barnes hit a two-run, insidethe-park home run in the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies rallied for the second straight day to stun the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Saturday. Charlie Blackmon singled with two outs off Giants closer Sergio Romo (3-3) before Barnes lined a hit to center field. San Francisco’s Angel Pagan misplayed the ball and it skipped to the fence as Blackmon and Bar nes raced around the bases. Bar nes, who had a walkof f triple to beat the Dodgers on June 7, had flown out to center in three consecutive at-bats before helping Colorado extend its winning streak to four games. It’s the second consecutive blown save and fourth this season for Romo, who gave up five runs in the ninth inning of Friday’s 7-4 loss to Colorado. Angels 11, Braves 6, 13 inn. ATLANTA (AP) — Kole Calhoun’s bases-loaded single in the 13th inning drove in the go-ahead run and the Los Angeles Angels recovered after blowing a four run lead in the ninth to beat the Atlanta Braves 11-6 Saturday night. Mike Trout and Albert Pujols each had three hits, including homers, and drove in four runs. Erick Aybar led off the 13th with his fourth hit, an infield single, and moved to second on catcher Gerald Laird’s passed ball. David Hale (2-1) walked pinch-hitter C.J. Wilson and hit Chris Iannetta with a pitch to load the bases. Calhoun’s soft fly ball fell just in front of center fielder B.J. Upton, who attempted a sliding catch. Trout’s two-run double and Pujols’ two-run single pushed the lead to five runs. The teams combined to use 16 pitchers as the game lasted almost 5 hours. Fernando Salas (4-0) pitched two scoreless innings. Phillies 7, Cubs 4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jimmy Rollins singled in the fifth to pass Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt as Philadelphia’s hits leader and Domonic Brown capped the inning with a three-run homer. Rollins got hit No. 2,235 off Edwin Jackson, sending a 3-1 pitch into right field to open the fifth. The game was then delayed for an on-field celebration. Chase Utley also homered for Philadelphia, which has won four of five following a dismal 1-8 stretch. David Buchanan (2-3), in his fifth start for injured lefty Cliff Lee (elbow), allowed three runs and six hits in five innings.

Astros 7, Rays 3 HOUSTON (AP) — Matt Dominguez broke out of a slump with two hits that included a three-run double in Houston’s big third inning. Dominguez was 1 for 12 in the first three games of this homestand before singling in the second inning. The Astros led by one when he cleared the bases with his double in a five-run third inning that made it 5-1. Jarred Cosart (6-5) allowed nine hits and three runs in seven innings in his longest outing since May 5. Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer (3-4) was done in by an error and a lack of control in his shortest start this season. He allowed three hits and six runs — one earned — with three walks in three innings.

Indians 3, Red Sox 2 BOSTON (AP) — Jason Kipnis had three hits and Cleveland rallied for two runs in the seventh inning to snap a four-game losing streak. Asdrubal Cabrera and Michael Brantley each had a pair of hits for the Indians, who had lost eight of their past nine games at Fenway Park. John Axford (2-3) earned the win with one scoreless inning in relief of T.J. House. Cody Allen pitched the ninth for his seventh save. Craig Breslow (2-2) took the loss, allowing two unearned runs and two hits and a walk in twothirds of an inning.

Brewers 4, Reds 2 MILWAUKEE (AP) — R yan Braun hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to lift Milwaukee to victory. With one out in the eighth inning, Scooter Gennett ended up with a double after blooping a ball to center that Billy Hamilton got his glove on but couldn’t hold. Braun then drove the first pitch from reliever J.J. Hoover (1-5) over the right field fence for his 10th homer of the season. Francisco Rodriquez pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his 21st save in 23 opportunities. Will Smith (1-0) got the win despite giving up a game-tying home run to Hamilton in the eighth inning. Reds starter Mat Latos went six shutout innings in his season debut, giving up two hits while striking out four. He started the season on the disabled list while recovering from elbow and knee surgeries. Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo

allowed one run on six hits in seven innings and struck out eight.

Royals 9, White Sox 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Danny Duffy matched a career high with nine strikeouts and Kansas City extended its winning streak to six games. Duffy (4-5) scattered five hits over seven-plus shutout innings for Kansas City. Mike Moustakas homered among his three hits as the Royals won their second straight in this weekend series. The Royals scored five times in the fourth — four with none out — to chase Chicago starter Hector Noesi (2-5).

Tigers 12, Twins 9 DETROIT (AP) — Rookie Eugenio Suarez hit a leadoff homer and a run-scoring double in a seven-run third inning to lead slumping Detroit to victory. The Tigers led 11-1 after six innings, but their struggling bullpen had trouble finishing off the game. Detroit came into the game having lost 17 of 24 after a fast start to the season, but it was helped by another strong pitching performance. Anibal Sanchez (32) was charged with three runs and four hits in 6 1⁄3 innings. Sanchez was in complete control before he walked the leadoff hitter in the seventh and allowed a one-out RBI triple to Eduardo Nunez. Evan Reed then came in, and Nunez scored on a passed ball. Samuel Deduno (2-5) lasted just 2 2⁄3 innings for Minnesota, which had won three in a row. The right-hander allowed seven runs and seven hits, struck out

Orioles 3, Blue Jays 2 BAL TIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis homered to back Bud Norris’ effective pitching for Baltimore. Davis hit a two-run shot off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (6-5) to put Baltimore up 3-1 in the fifth inning. It was the 11th homer of the year for Davis, who led the majors last year with 53. Norris (6-5) gave up one run and seven hits in 6 2⁄3 innings to win his third straight start. The right-hander extended an impressive run by Orioles starters, who have allowed two runs or fewer in 13 of the last 16 games. After Toronto closed to 3-2 in the eighth, Zach Britton got three outs for his seventh save.

Cardinals 4, Nationals 1 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Adams hit the go-ahead home run for the second straight game, connecting of f Stephen Strasburg in St. Louis’ three-run seventh inning. Adams snapped a 1-all tie with his sixth homer leading off the seventh, driving a 3-1 offering from Strasburg (6-5) over the wall in right-center. On Friday, he homered on his first swing since coming off the 15-day disabled list from a left calf strain, lifting St. Louis to a 1-0 victory. Jayson Werth had an RBI double in the first for the Nationals, who managed just four hits for a two-day total of six. They will try to avoid a three-game sweep in the series finale Sunday. St. Louis reliever Randy Choate (1-2) needed one pitch to escape a bases-loaded threat in the seventh after a strong start from Shelby Miller, who gave up four hits in 6 2⁄3 innings. Pat Neshek

Pirates 8, Marlins 6 MIAMI (AP) — Andrew McCutchen hit a three-run homer and Jody Mercer also went deep for Pittsburgh. Josh Harrison and Chris Stewart had three hits apiece, and the Pirates finished with 18 overall in their sixth consecutive game in double digits. Touted rookie Gregory Polanco had two hits and two RBIs. Marcell Ozuna and Jeff Baker each hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Miami. Randy Wolf (1-3) allowed five runs and nine hits in four innings. The Pirates (34-34) have won four straight and five of six to get back to .500 for the first time since they were 8-8 following a victory over Milwaukee on April 17. Pittsburgh right-hander Charlie Morton pitched seven effective innings for his third consecutive win. He allowed two runs and five hits to improve to 4-1 with a 2.40 ERA in his last five starts.

Padres 5, Mets 0 NEW YORK (AP) — Jesse Hahn earned his first big league victory, pitching one-hit ball for six innings and contributing an RBI single to help San Diego end a five-game losing streak. Hahn and San Diego’s bullpen limited the Mets to two hits: Ruben Tejada’s infield hit leading off the first and Lucas Duda’s bloop single down the left field line in the ninth. Hahn (1-1) worked six innings and relievers Dale Thayer, Joaquin Benoit and Huston Street each went an inning. Called up from Double-A to make his second appearance in the majors, Hahn struck out seven and walked three. The 24year -old righty escaped his biggest jam by fanning Matt den Dekker with the bases loaded to end the fourth.

Colombia beats Greece 3-0 in Group C opener

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colombia started its first World Cup campaign in 16 years in dazzling fashion, beating Greece 3-0 to open Group C on Saturday in front of a big, loud pro-Colombian crowd. Left back Pablo Armero opened the scoring in the fifth minute when his deflected shot rolled past Greece goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis. Striker Teofilo Gutierrez poked in Colombiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal from a deflected corner in the 58th and James Rodriguez capped it off with a low shot in stoppage time after a slick backheel flick from Juan Cuadrado. Colombiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace and trickery were too much for Greece to handle in the latter stages as the 57,174 crowd, most dressed in bright yellow shirts, constantly chanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ole, oleâ&#x20AC;? at Estadio Mineriao. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good debut with players who had never played a World Cup. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big satisfaction,â&#x20AC;? Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is how we planned this match. Some things turned out the way we wanted, some things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but we were very focused and showed that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to play a good World Cup.â&#x20AC;?

According to FIFA, it was 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with humidity at 61 percent for the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At times it felt like having hallucinations due to the heat,â&#x20AC;? said Claudio Marchisio, who scored Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening goal. In the other Group D match, Costa Rica beat Uruguay 3-1. So both England and Uruguay, who meet Thursday, have plenty of work to do to advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all need time to digest what happened on the field,â&#x20AC;? England coach Roy Hodgson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My gut feeling is that we did very good things. There were some very good individual performances.â&#x20AC;? Balotelli is one of the most talented strikers in football, but there were some predictions heading into the World Cup that he would be dropped in favor of Ciro Immobile. Immobile, who plays for Torino, scored a hat trick last weekend in a warm-up match against Brazilian club Fluminense. Coach Cesare Prandelli, however, decided to stick with his main man, and it certainly looked like the right choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave everything he had,â&#x20AC;?

Prandelli said. Prandelli was pleased with both the team performance and the preparations in Coverciano, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training base back in Florence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well. It was a tough victory but we maintained supremacy in the middle of the pitch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked well in Coverciano and you could see that. They (England) had cramps midway through the second half, and that shows that our work paid off.â&#x20AC;? Balotelli was born to Ghanaian immigrants and raised by Italian foster parents, and has often been forced to deal with racist chanting in Italy. However, the abuse hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevented him from becoming a key player for the national team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scoring two goals in the semifinal win over Germany at the 2012 European Championship. Until Saturday, he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored for the national team since October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a very difficult (game) because England are a good team and there was the climate as well,â&#x20AC;? Balotelli said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We suffered, but then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typical for Italy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the important thing is to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Balotelli nearly found the net

session with 54 percent, but whenever Colombia players got hold of the ball, they blazed down the flanks and through the middle of the pitch, disorientating their opponents. The Greeks had a chance to pull a goal back after Gutierrez

in first-half injury time, running deep into the area and enticing Hart to come off his line. The Italy striker stopped, looked toward goal and sent a chip over the keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head but Phil Jagielka headed the ball over the bar. Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack-minded lineup made frequent runs into the Italy area throughout the match, and came close to scoring several times. The best of the chances came in the 24th when Danny Welbeck sent the ball across the front of goal but Andrea Barzagli was able to slide in and tip the ball up in the air. Raheem Sterling, who had been running in from the left, jumped for the header but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach it, letting the ball go past him as he tumbled into the net. Italy played without the injured Gianluigi Buffon. The 36-year-old Italy goalkeeper, who can play in his fourth World Cup if he is able to recover from an ankle problem, was replaced by Salvatore Sirigu. The PSG keeper stepped up and made several good saves, but the best may have come in the 77th when he dived to his left to block a free kick from Leighton Baines.

Drogba inspires Ivory Coast to 2-1 win

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Didier Drogba came off the bench to inspire Ivory Coast to a 2-1 comeback victory over Japan in a World Cup Group C match on Saturday. Drogba, who had been carrying an injury, came on in the 62nd minute when his team was losing 1-0. The talismanic strikerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival immediately lifted the Ivory Coast team and Wilfried Bony and Gervinho scored with headers two minutes apart. Both goals were set up by curling

crosses from defender Serge Aurier. Coach Sabri Lamouchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired substitution negated Keisuke Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first half goal that had given Japan the lead in a group that also includes Colombia and Greece. Colombia beat Greece 3-0 earlier on Saturday. Japan had the better of the play in the first half, taking a lead through Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard left-footed strike from about 12 yards in the 16th minute. Yuto Nagatomo slid a

pass across the edge of the penalty area to Honda, who settled the ball cleanly with his right foot before belting his 21st career international goal under the cross bar and inside the near post. Japan had several chances to widen its lead in the opening 45 minutes, and will rue missing them. Ivory Coast dominated the second half but the sluggish-looking team was making little headway until the arrival of Drogba galvanized it.

But after the goal, Uruguay lost the initiative and Costa Rica â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seen as a massive underdog in a group that also includes England and Italy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fought back after the break. Costa Ricaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone striker Joel Campbell led most of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterattacks and finally delivered the equalizer in the 54th, driving in a ball headed down by Celso Borges to beat goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. Oscar Duarte dived past the outstretched foot of Uruguayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cristian Stuani to head in the winner for the Central Americans, and substitute Marcos Urena added the third with six minutes left, catching out Muslera to slot the ball in from a tight angle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spotted that they had weaknesses and we looked at those. We worked hard on headers and ways to dominate in the air and we did that tonight,â&#x20AC;? Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said. The disastrous night in injury

Greece coach Fernando Santos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had good spells of play and all we can do now is look at the next matches.â&#x20AC;? Kone said Greece didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the most of its possession and the chances it created. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The score doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show it, but I think we played well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But these games are turned on the details, and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for us today. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still proud to be here, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to play hard.â&#x20AC;? Greece defenders started getting frustrated with Colombiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace in the second half and began to foul the South Americans, with two players picked up yellow cards within minutes. The result will give Colombia confidence that it can win competitive matches without star striker Radamel Falcao, who was ruled out after failing to recover from a serious knee injury. The other Group C teams, Ivory Coast and Japan, were playing later Saturday. Greece will now have to regroup ahead of its second match against Japan after its notoriously solid defense leaked three goals.

Pereira will be suspended from the next game against England, while Tabarez said Suarezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation for next Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match in Sao Paolo is also uncertain. Diego Forlan, the player of the tour nament in 2010, took Suarezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in attack. But in Fortaleza, the 35-year -old forward only displayed a single flash of his former greatness: Curling a deadly ball toward the Costa Rican a minute before halftime, in an effort punched out by inform keeper Keylor Navas. Forlan was eventually substituted on the hour for Nicolas Lodeiro. Even without Suarez, the team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a tactical overhaul to bounce back from the defeat, Tabarez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve being playing this way for eight years. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see why we should do anything different right know,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It worked in South Africa and after that. Defense is not a dirty word.â&#x20AC;? Pinto, the Costa Rica coach, was less philosophical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What counted is that we stayed calm and kept creating opportunities against a very tough team,â&#x20AC;? Pinto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have great respect for Uruguay but we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that impressed tonight.â&#x20AC;?

can golf, birdied the par-3 17th hole and shot 67 to get into the final group of a major for the first time. Even more unlikely was the other player at 3-under 207 — Erik Compton, the two-time heart transplant recipient who considers it a victory just to be playing golf. Compton ran off five birdies and an eagle for a 67 “If I were to win the tournament, it would be obviously something that would be extremely special, not only for me, but for my family and for those who have been around me, and I think also for the community and those who have been through some tough times,” Compton said. “I might just sail off and never play golf again.” Even so, this tournament is in the hands of a 29-year-old German who kept his cool on a broiling day of some wicked pin positions. Only one player in U.S. Open history has lost a five-shot lead in the final round, and that Mike Brady in 1919. “It would be nice if they make it difficult again,” Kaymer said of the pins, several of which were on the edges of the Donald Ross turtleback greens. “Because then it’s all about ball-striking. I enjoy playing those courses a lot more than just a putting competition. ... So I hope they put them in tough positions. Not as tough as today. It would be nice if we could have some kind of a chance once in a while. But that is what you get at the U.S. Open. It’s OK. You just have to play very well.” Only six players remained under par, and considering no one has come from more than seven shots behind in the final round to win a U.S. Open, they might be the only ones left with a realistic chance to catch Kaymer.

Notebook: McDowell’s slide continues at U.S. Open PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — Graeme McDowell spent as much energy Saturday fighting frustration as he did the demanding conditions at the U.S. Open. Three strokes back after the first round, the 2010 Open winner had seven bogeys in a 5-over 75 that left him 7 over after 54 holes. It was his second straight day over par, sliding him further down the leaderboard after a promising start at Pinehurst No. 2. “It’s very, very difficult mentally, to stay in it,” McDowell said. “You start thinking to yourself, ‘I’m not even sure if I want to play tomorrow.’ It’s not really enjoyable. It’s not enjoyable. It’s very difficult. But it’s the U.S. Open.” McDowell opened with a 68 on Thursday, playing conservatively but putting the ball where he wanted it in a nearly mistake-free performance. But he fell back Friday with a 74, making four bogeys and a double bogey. Things did not get any better Saturday as the course got harder and faster with unforgiving pin placements. His sixth hole started a run of four straight bogeys before the turn, with two more coming on the 13th and 16th holes. “This is a hard golf course for me because it’s so long,” McDowell said. “I don’t get a lot

Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson each shot 70 and were at 2-under 208. Brandt Snedeker had a 72 and was another shot behind. Asked how much that birdie mattered on the 18th hole, Kaymer said, “One shot.” “If you’re four shots, five shots, six shots, if you play a golf course like this, it can be gone very quickly,” he said. “You could see it today. So the challenge tomorrow is to keep going and not try to defend anything. So we’ll see how it will react tomorrow, how the body feels and how I handle the situation.” Kaymer had his way with a softer, gentler Pinehurst No. 2 by becoming the first player to open with 65s to set the 36-hole record

of wedges in my hands, short irons in my hands. That’s the strength of my game. ... My iron play hasn’t been bad. I just haven’t given myself enough opportunities. “It’s the US Open, golf’s toughest test. And they were right today.”

STENSON’S PUSH: Henrik Stenson nearly made it 3 for 3 in finishing below par at Pinehurst No. 2. The No. 2-ranked Swede had finished at 1-under 69 on each of the first two days. He was ready to do it again before his bogey on the 18th left him at 70 and tied for fourth at 2 under overall, six shots back of Martin Kaymer. Stenson declined to speak with reporters afterward, saying he was off to the driving range. Stenson is playing in his eighth U.S. Open, with his best finish being ninth at Bethpage Black in 2009. He will join Erik Compton (3 under) in the next-to-last group for Sunday’s final round. A LAUGH FROM LEFTY: Phil Mickelson poked a little fun at his run of runner-up finishes at the U.S. Open. Mickelson has wound up second a record six times for the only major title that has

at 10-under 130. Some players wondered what tournament he was playing. There was no doubt what it was on Saturday. “They’ve set it up so that no one can go low,” Retief Goosen said after a 71. “Some of the pins look like they’re about to fall off the greens.” Toru Taniguchi shot an 88. Brendon Todd, playing in the final group with Kaymer, had a 79. Phil Mickelson had a 73 and was 13 shots out of the lead. He’ll have to wait until next year to pursue the only major keeping him from the career Grand Slam. Adam Scott, the world No. 1, made bogey on all but one of the par 3s and was 11 shots behind.

eluded him, including at Pinehurst No. 2 in 1999. He shot a 2-over 72 on Saturday to slip to 5 over and has yet to break par at Pinehurst No. 2, but he was hoping for a strong finish Sunday. He was 13 strokes behind leader Martin Kaymer and eight strokes back of Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton. “If I hit it better and make some putts, I think I can shoot 4- or 5-under par, end around even,” Lefty said, pausing before chuckling through the punchline: “Finish second again.” FITZPATRICK’S PUTTING: The tournament’s only remaining amateur struggled in the third round. Matthew Fitzpatrick opened with a bogey followed by two double bogeys Saturday, sending him to an 8-over 78 and a 12-over 222 total at Pinehurst No. 2. The 19-year-old Englishman, set to make his pro debut next week in the Irish Open, pointed to his putting. He had 33 putts in the third round, up from 30 on Thursday and 31 on Friday. “I didn’t hole any putts of any sort,” he said. “... I thought the course was probably a bit tougher, but at the same time I didn’t feel like I played any worse.”

Kaymer nearly joined the parade of players going the wrong direction. He ended an amazing streak of 29 holes without a bogey by failing to get up-and-down from short of the second green. Trouble really was brewing on the fourth hole, when he pulled his tee shot into the trees and couldn’t play his next shot. After being denied relief, he took a one-shot penalty drop and punched out to the fairway. From 165 yards, he hit his fourth shot to 15 feet right of the flag and lightly pumped his fist — big emotion for Kaymer — when it dropped for bogey. The other mistakes were sloppy. Kaymer hit a birdie putt off the green on the par-3 sixth and

had to scramble for bogey. On the back nine, he twice took three putts for bogey, once from off the green. But he closed with his best shot of a long day, and still had control of this U.S. Open. Mike Brady is the only other player to lose a five-shot lead. That was in 1919 at Brae Burn Country Club in Massachusetts. He shot 80 in the last round, and Walter Hagen beat him the next day in a playoff. Kaymer is all about looking forward, not back at history, hopeful of winning his second major before turning 30. In the last 20 years, only T iger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Ernie Els have done that.

LeBron’s simple message: ‘Why not us?’ SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Early Sunday evening, LeBron James will gather his Miami Heat teammates around him and offer a few final words of wisdom before they try to extend their reign as NBA champions. James never rehearses the speech, but already knows what the gist will be. “It would be in the range of, ‘Why not us?”’ James said Saturday. “Why not us? History is broken all the time. And obviously we know we’re against the greatest of odds.” Against the greatest of odds, against maybe the greatest of San Antonio Spurs teams, too. Both are very much against the Heat now, and both are winning. The Spurs are a victory away from their fifth championship, and will go for it at home Sunday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs are the 32nd team in NBA history to hold a 3-1 lead in the finals. All 31 of the previous teams have won the title. “History is made to be broken, and why not me be a part of it? That would be great,” James said. “That

would be a great story line, right? But we’ll see what happens. I’ve got to live in the moment, though, before we even get to that point.” The Spurs have the same way of thinking. They took command of the finals in stunning fashion by not just winning in Miami, but winning twice — and winning big. San Antonio won Games 3 and 4 on the road by a combined 40 points, never trailing by more than two in either contest and running out to 25-point leads in each. “We’ve got to act like we’re coming into it like it’s a road game,” Spurs guard Danny Green said. “It’s a mentality thing. We have to come up with the same mentality we do on the road and try to protect home court and play with desperation.” There was no talk from the Spurs on Saturday about closing in on a title, or anything remotely close to that topic. They thought they had it wrapped up with 28 seconds left in Game 6 last season against Miami and saw it slip away — so even with a 3-1 lead

and being at home instead the road for this potential clinching situation, it’s pretty clear that San Antonio isn’t willing to leave anything to chance. “They’re going to come out and give us their best punch possible,” Spurs star T im Duncan said. “We know that they’re back-toback champs and they’ve been in this situation before and they have all the confidence in the world that they can win these games. So we have to do just the same. Come out there and say, hey, we’re going to take it little by little, quarter by quarter, and see what happens.” That all sounds good, and he meant every word. Thing is, the Heat — these Heat, anyway — haven’t been in this situation before. Since James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up, the Heat have never trailed 3-1 in a series. Until now. “We’re not so entitled or jaded that we’re above having to fight for it, and that’s what it is right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It’s competition. So we’ve

Miami’s LeBron James answers a question during news conference, Saturday. got to find a way to fight and get this next game, and that’s what it’s all about.” Miami took a day off Friday. Mario Chalmers played with his son, James watched some film and rested at home, Udonis Haslem tried to relax with family. Wade, who missed nine of his first 10 shots — raising questions about his

health — went a different way. He went into the gym, by himself, looking for answers. “I have very good reason that everything could change,” Wade said. “As I continue to say throughout the season, it’s a game-togame thing.” Wade was down 2-0 in

It’s the role players who have the Spurs rolling SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony Parker is still thankful for the role players who helped carry San Antonio to its last NBA title in 2007. There was Robert Horry, a seven-time champion and official finals good-luck charm if there ever was one. Michael Finley, who was hitting 3-pointers at a much better rate in those playoffs than he did in the regular season that year. Fabricio Oberto, who probably never had a play called for him but found ways to get things done. The Spurs had a ‘Big 3’ then, the same one that they have now. But three is rarely enough, and that’s been proven once again in these NBA Finals. Kawhi Leonard and Boris Diaw have been exactly what San Antonio needed in this matchup against the Miami Heat, and might be the two biggest reasons why the Spurs are one win away from their fifth NBA championship. The Spurs lead these finals 3-1, and

will look to end Miami’s reign in Game 5 at home on Sunday night. “If you want to win championships, obviously you need a ‘Big 3,”’ Parker said. “But you need your role players to play great too. And every time we won championships in the past, the ‘Big 3,’ we played great, but we had great role players. ... If you want to go all the way, you need the whole team to play great.” That’s what the Spurs are getting. Parker is leading the Spurs in scoring, Tim Duncan is leading in rebounding and the Western Conference champions are outscoring Miami by 62 points so far with Manu Ginobili on the floor — so yes, the ‘Big 3’ is doing its part. But when the Spurs took control of the series by winning Games 3 and 4 in Miami, Leonard led the charge by averaging 24.5 points on 68 percent shooting. And Diaw has 23 assists so far in the series, more than anyone else

and none probably better than his behind-the-back offering out of the post that set Tiago Splitter up for a dunk in Game 4. There’s already talk that Leonard could be in line to win MVP of the finals. In an absolutely not-shocking development, he wanted no part of that talk. “It feels the same for me as any game going into it,” Leonard said of the anticipation level for Game 5. “All I’m thinking about is playing. I’m not worried about what if we win or lose, and we just want to go out and play.” Such is the Spurs’ way. The makeup of a player who perfectly fits into the San Antonio system has remained unchanged for the better part of two decades. He values team play over any individual accolade. He never says too much, particularly about himself. He stays in the moment, avoiding the urge to look ahead or behind. Leonard and Diaw meet all those characteristics.

“San Antonio is playing great,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “They’re moving the basketball. They’re exploiting where we’re normally good, so we have to do a better job. Even when we’ve made adjustments, they’ve still been able to stay in a rhythm and a flow.” Diaw is just the third player to have a game with at least nine rebounds and nine assists during these playoffs, with Oklahoma City stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook being the others. For his part, Diaw said he’s never cared about scoring. If the team scores, that’s good enough for him. “It’s just moving the ball, playing with everybody,” Diaw said. “There is nobody really just watching. Everybody’s involved, and everybody gets the ball at some point. So it’s been good.” Good, indeed. One more win, and these Spurs officially become great.

the 2006 finals, and trailed by 13 points in the fourth quarter of Game 3 of that series against Dallas. The Heat won that championship in six games. “You have to pull from your experiences,” Wade said, “and know where you came from to know where you’re trying to go.” That also applies to the Spurs. Losing the last two games of the finals last year still stings San Antonio. That series was portrayed widely as the Spurs’ last hurrah — an aging team with old stars, there’s no way they could come back from something as devastating as letting the 2013 championship slip away, right? Wrong. The Spurs finished with the best record in the regular season, and are one win shy of just being the best team, period. “Whatever success anyone has is due to a lot of factors,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “Some of it is not even your doing. Sometimes things just happen. So success is a pretty complicated thing.” So are comebacks. But James is eager for the chance. “For me, it’s like you either don’t make the playoffs or you win a championship,” James said. “There’s no in-between.”

Eric Hill, creator of Spot the Dog, dies at 86 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eric Hill, whose effort to entertain his young son with a simple drawing of a mischievous dog named Spot blossomed into a popular series of children’s books that have sold more than 60 million copies, has died at his home in central California. He was 86. Hill died Friday at his home in Templeton after a short illness, said Adele Minchin, a spokeswoman for his publisher, Penguin Children’s Group. His first book, “Where’s Spot?” — with its clean design, whimsical characters, and bold, bright colors — was an instant success with preschool chil-

dren when it hit store shelves in 1980. It told the gentle tale of Spot’s mother, Sally, as she goes on a search for him around the house — but finds a hippo, a lion and other creatures along the way. But before his first triumph, Hill faced a number of rejections because so many publishers were wary of his use of paper flaps to hide parts of his illustrations — an innovation that was considered unusual at the time. In one case, for instance, a child could lift a flap in the shape of a door to reveal a grizzly bear gobbling up honey in the hallway. “Familiar as we are today with a children’s

successful career as a stylist here in Roswell. She loved people; therefore, quality time with friends and family was always a priority. First and foremost, Christal's adult life was devoted to her only son, Logan; she showered him with hugs and love on a daily basis. Christal was described by friends and family as always being the loudest, happiest person in the room. She will be remembered for her laugh, her joy, her beauty. She will be remembered as a bright star who burned out much too quickly, leaving the rest of us to marvel at the light she left behind. Christal is survived by her son, Logan, his father, Thomas Urquides, parents David and Barbara Adams, brothers Michael, Jason and Shane. Along with these relatives, Christal leaves behind a large extended family who will miss her greatly.

WORLD

Soldier’s story shows tragedy of World War I

Roswell Daily Record

NIEUWKERKE, Belgium (AP) — In a neatly clipped cor ner of the Westhof Farm Cemetery, an Australian family huddled around the grave of Pvt. Andrew Bayne. One century after the start of World War I, the family found closure in homage to a forebear who had traveled half the world to meet his death, his stomach ripped open by an exploding shell, in the horrors of Flanders Fields. Bayne left his wife, Katie, with four young children in Brisbane and a prescient letter of regret: “What a dammed fool I was to ever have enlisted.” Bayne’s remains lie alongside other Commonwealth victims and a handful of German dead, the rows of pristine white tombstones stretching over rich, undulating pastures. Belgium and France are still scarred by over 1,000 graveyards, countless bomb craters, rusting gas shells, bunkers and trenches that tore apart the Western Front for four years. The front line of death and destruction burned through the Alps, Central Europe, the Balkans and Russia, spilling into present-day Turkey and reaching beyond to the Middle East and as far as China. It claimed some 14 million lives — 5 million civilians and 9 million soldiers, sailors and airmen from 28 countries, from India to South Africa to the United States. The 1914-18 con-

flict was so unprecedented in its scope and savagery that it became known simply as “The Great War.” At least 7 million troops were left permanently disabled and families across the globe, much like Bayne’s, were wrecked. For Kaylene Biggs, misty-eyed after finally facing the grave of her great-grandfather in the small cemetery, the war’s far-reaching legacy makes remembrance all the more important. “It isn’t until you do visit the battlefields that you realize the huge amount of loss and sacrifice.” “Now, it seems so peaceful,” she said amid the twitter of birds and the faraway galloping of a horse. The early summer of 1914 seemed just as tranquil to most Europeans. By that time, the Bayne family had already been in Australia for two years, hoping to build a richer life after toiling for meager rewards on a Scottish farm. The Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires had often clashed over borders in the restive Balkans, but somehow diplomats had muddled through without plunging the world into war. Little prepared Europe for June 28, 1914, when a gunshot from Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip killed Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. When the pieces of the

Videos expose Guantanamo hunger strike

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — The U.S. military has long insisted it employs only humane methods to keep hunger-striking prisoners alive at Guantanamo. That assertion is under new scrutiny due to a judicial order. Attor neys for a Syrian prisoner have begun studying hours of video showing him being removed from his cell, placed in a restraint chair and fed by a tube with liquid nutrients. They are looking for evidence of what he has portrayed as abusive forcefeeding, akin to torture, during the months that he has participated in a hunger strike that drew the attention of President Barack Obama and led to a renewed effort to close the prison on this U.S. base in Cuba. In May, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler said the manner used to feed Dhiab caused “unnecessary suf fering” and imposed a temporary order barring the feeding procedure. She lifted it a week later to avoid endangering his life from starvation, but ordered the military to turn over 34 videos of Dhiab being removed from his cell and fed. She has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to discuss the status of the case. “It’s really kind of a modest thing to ask a court to order our military not to torture these men,” lawyer Jon Eisenberg said about both this prisoner, Abu Wa’el Dhiab, and others who have been fed through a nasal tube while on hunger strike. Lawyers, who have never been allowed to witness the procedure in person, said they expected to study the first batch of videos, about 10 hours of them, over the weekend at a special facility for viewing classified evi-

dence near the Pentagon. They also plan to seek videos of at least three other prisoners. “Of course, I expect it to be upsetting,” said Cori Crider, a member of the legal team. “They say it’s humane, but that’s totally not the way Dhiab and dozens of other people have reported it to me.” Military officials, who call the hunger strike a propaganda stunt, reject the phrase “force-feeding.” They say the video will show nothing more than guards and medical personnel doing their jobs in a difficult situation. “We don’t force feed anyone,” said Marine Gen. John F. Kelly, who oversees the prison as commander of U.S. Souther n Command. There have been hunger strikes at Guantanamo since shortly after the detention center opened in 2002 to hold and question men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban. The practice of using a restraint chair for feeding began in early 2006 during a mass hunger strike that grew so serious authorities feared some participants might die. Using a modified version of a procedure adopted by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, the military straps a prisoner down, inserts a flexible tube into a nostril and sends liquid nutrients, typically Ensure or a similar product, directly to the stomach. In February 2013, a new hunger strike began. It totaled more than 100 prisoners at its peak, out of 154 in custody at the time, then began to taper of f. Among the participants, according to his lawyers, was Dhiab, a 42-year -old who has never been charged and since 2009 has been a candidate for release and resettlement, if the U.S. can find a place for him.

puzzle finally fell into place that August, the Entente Powers including Britain, France and Russia faced the Central Powers of the German and AustroHungarian empires. The war quickly became a deadly stalemate the likes of which had never been seen. Over the next three years, each side attempted a series of massive offensives that failed to break the deadlock but caused horrific carnage — up to 1 million dead in the French Battle of the Somme alone. The Gallipoli campaign in Turkey was so ghastly it turned into a seminal event for Australian and New Zealand nationhood. Bayne was hardly gungho about the war. What tur ned things around, Biggs said, was that “one day in the street, he was handed a white feather,” at the time a universal sign for cowardice. “So he went and joined up.” His dreams of setting up a farm were replaced with the horrors of Europe: the trenches, the mud, the gas, the booming artillery. He enlisted in June 1916, left Australia four months later — and arrived in France from England in March of the following year, just one indication of the pace of war a century ago. Bayne was not the only family member to go. In a sign of how global the war could be, his brother John enlisted in the Australian Light Horse, fought on

Gallipoli in Turkey and in Beersheba in current-day Israel. Another brother, Adam, joined the Canadian forces and went to fight in France; a third, Bill, fought with the British. They all survived. Family archives showed that Andrew Bayne fought at Bullecourt in northern France, where two battles cost Australia 10,000 casualties and hardly moved the front line. Bullecourt villagers coming back said there was no way of knowing where their houses had once

been. Such devastation was par for the course during the years of stalemate. Bayne, like so many millions of soldiers, long remained hopeful as the war stretched into its fourth year. The Germans, he wrote home, “are about starved out and they can’t last much longer.” He added, “Cheer up. I will be with you yet.” On Aug. 19, 1917, a German shell burst close to him as he was on the Ypres front holding the line close to Messines

Ridge, little more than a molehill but a killer of thousands on both sides. The pain and agony were recorded matter-of-factly in a witness report: “The wounds were left ar m, right of face and stomach — the latter a bad one.” Bayne could still call for a stretcher and, before losing consciousness, uttered: “They have got me.” He died soon afterward at age 32. Had he held out longer, he might have benefited by the U.S. entry into the war.

Alien Chase lands on July 5

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The 20th annual Lovelace Regional Hospital-Roswell Alien Chase 10k and 5k, scheduled for Saturday, July 5, is shaping up to have another record turnout. The Alien Chase 10k and 5k runs and walks begin at 7 a.m. on July 5 at the Roswell Civic & Convention Center, said Bob Edwards, longtime event organizer and member of the Roswell Runners Club. “When we started this run 20 years ago, we had 200 people sign up for the first event,” Edwards recalled. “The next year we had 275.” However, when the 50th anniversary of the 1947 Roswell UFO crash was celebrated in 1997, participation in the 5K took off like a rocket — or maybe a spaceship. “We had a core group of members in the Runner’s Club and we wanted to start some races here in town. When the UFO Festival began, we thought we’d do a race during the new festival.” Nearly 700 runners showed up for the 50th anniversary run, and every year since the participation has been closer to that number than the original 200, Edwards said. The annual event is sponsored by Lovelace Regional Hospital, the Roswell Runners Club and the Roswell Recreation Department, and except for a few years

when the race was held at Cielo Grande, the Alien Chase has begun downtown at the Roswell Museum and Art Center. Some of the runners enjoy wearing costumes for the event, Edwards said, but the serious runners come to run. “They might wear a pair of green shorts, but that would be about it. They come to run and they’re all business.” Other participants aren’t as serious about their running, and they will come in costume, which makes the event both fun to do and fun to watch. Registration and packet pickup for runners will be held on Friday, July 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the civic center, and again from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m. on the day of the race. That portion of registration and packet pickup closes at 6:30 am. Colorful T-shirts and awards are given for overall male/female in each of the four contested distances, as well as first, second and third places in age groups 10 and under, and up to 70 and older, Edwards said. “The medals we award are very unique, and everyone has a great time,” Edwards said. “That is what makes a run successful.” People from 30 of the 50 states and groups of runners from as far away as New Zealand have come to Roswell to participate in the Alien Chase. “We were featured in a film called ‘Six Days In Roswell,’ and I had my 15 seconds

of fame in that movie,” Edwards said with a laugh. The Alien Chase also benefits the Roswell Humane Society. “We put on four to five races a year, and

all of them benefit a different charity,” Edwards said. Not only do runners and walkers in the Alien Chase have fun, they also help a worthy cause, he added.

Assassin’s, Smash Bros. wool and toy figurines? This year’s E3, while routine in some areas, also tur ned out to be a very interesting expo. Nintendo showed that it is going to try and flex the Wii U muscles (finally) with several unique games, and Sony and Microsoft also showcased their now currentgen consoles as well. Sony shows of f new hardware and promises exclusive software Like many video game producers often do, Sony decided now would be a good time to announce ... wait for it ... a white version of its console to come out on September 9. Maybe I should cut them some slack, they did announce that the year’s heavily anticipated game, “Destiny,” will be bundled with the pale hardware. In more exciting news and non-news, Project Morpheus (the prototypical virtual reality headset) has

Cry 4 was unveiled at the press conference as well as “Bloodbor ne” (slated for 2015), which is from the creators of “Dark Souls” and “Demon’s Soul.” Microsoft promises games this year Microsoft went back to the reason gamers game, for the games. Starting with a repackaging of the Halo series called “Halo: The Master Chief Collection,” the Xbox One producers then showed a trailer for “Halo 5: Guardians” (slated for 2015). They showed off more of “Forza Horizon 2” and “Fable: Legends.” But they also showed some surprises. “Rise of Tomb Raider” will be released next year and they are rebooting “Phantom Dust” and “Crackdown.” This year’s E3 from Microsoft seemed more focused on games, compared to last year when the

Nintendo shows new Smash Bros and toys And then there’s Nintendo. The company that decades ago revolutionized the gaming world forever, has long been the laughing stock of the gaming community with their insistence to be different from the rest. They may have figured it out, however. After seeing the success of “Skylanders” and “Disney Infinity,” Nintendo came up with its own near field communication (NFC) device with “Nintendo amiibo.” The amiibo will be little Nintendo-themed figurines which will work with several Nintendo-exclusive titles such as “Mario Party 10”

and “Mario Kart 8.” The fact that they go across multiple games could really help Nintendo in pleasing the public by avoiding a one-and-done situation with the figurines and a game. In the game department, Nintendo’s promise of “Super Smash Bros.” in time for the holidays will definitely rejuvenate a console that has been collecting dust on many gamers’ shelves. The new “Legend of Zelda” looks amazing and is expected to come out in 2015. “Mario: Mario Maker” is an innovative game which will allow players to build their own levels in a 2D setting. There are reports that they are also working on a new Star Fox game, which will certainly get me wanting to buy a Wii U (as if Zelda didn’t already do

How to Grow and Harvest Your Own Herbs for Maximum Yield

4. Follow directions for your zone and fertilize accordingly. Some herbs, i.e. rosemary, need sun while others, such as basil, can’t tolerate too much hot sun. 5. Pinch new growth regularly — just above a node or joint in the stem - for healthy, bushy plants. Remove withered or yellowed growth as needed.

How to Store Fresh Herbs

6. Store fresh herbs with

ENGAGEMENT

cut ends in a glass of water in the refrigerator OR wrapped loosely in damp paper towels in a plastic bag to prolong their freshness. When they start to look wilted, it’s time to preserve them.

Ways to Preserve Fresh Herbs

7. Hang a bunch by the stems in a dry place (covered by a paper bag) for a few days. Another way is to wash/pat herbs with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Put herbs in a single layer on a dry paper towel or microwavesafe plate and microwave on High power for 2 to 3 minutes, in one-minute increments. Check after each one-minute increment; they should be completely dry and brittle. The exact time will vary by the amount of moisture in the herbs. Strip off the leaves with your fingers and dis-

card stems which can be tough and woody, such as thyme. 8. Some herbs — especially soft herbs such as basil, lemon balm, chives, cilantro, dill, mint and parsley — freeze well in small freezer bags for up to 6 months. Rinse first and pat as dry as possible, then place in plastic bags, They will look a little bruised when thawed — and they must be cooked since they will be mushy — but their flavor is still intact and they retain all of their health benefits. In fact, I routinely freeze parsley and save considerable time by not having to chop it up, and I save money by not having it go to waste. “Creative Living” is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden. The show is carried by more than 118 PBS stations in the United States, Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico and is distributed by Westlink, Albuquerque.

Jimmy Scott, jazzman with ethereal voice, dies LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jimmy Scott, a jazzman with an ethereal man-child voice who found success late in life with the Grammy-nominated album “All the Way,” has died. He was 88. Scott died in his sleep Thursday at his Las Vegas home, said his wife, Jeanie Scott. He had battled health problems stemming from a genetic hormone deficiency and had been under the care of a home nurse, she said. His 1992 comeback album “All the Way” sold only 49,000 copies in the U.S. but earned him cultlike popularity in Europe and Asia, particularly Japan, where he often sold out performances. Eventually, he performed with the likes of Elton John, Lou Reed, Michael Stipe and Sting. He also appeared in the series finale of “Twin Peaks,” singing the song “Sycamore Trees,” co-written by the TV show’s creator David Lynch. “I love show business,” Scott told The Associated Press in 2004. “It’s my life, honey, and I try to enjoy it.” His signature high voice came from Kallmann’s syndrome, which kept him from experiencing puberty and stunted his growth. He stood just under 5 feet — and his voice did not change. At age 37, he grew another 8 inches to the height of 5 feet, 7 inches. Although that trait ultimately helped Scott stand out as a singer, he also suffered from congestive heart failure and had a

Scott, a jazzman with an ethereal man-child voice who found success late in life with the Grammy-nominated "All the Way," died on Friday. He was 88. lifestyle that included heavy drinking and smoking. Despite his youthful sound, Scott brought heavy emotion to his delivery, often dramatically drawing out lyrics and singing far behind the beat. The technique won praise from Billie Holiday, Nancy Wilson and Madonna, who after seeing him perform in 1994 told The New York Times that Scott was the only singer who ever made her cry. “Jimmy had soul way back when people weren’t

using the word,” Ray Charles once said in a PBS documentary on the history of jazz. A record label dispute prevented Scott from making an album in the 1950s produced by Charles. Scott’s previous record company, Savoy Records, said it had an exclusive, lifetime contract with him, and the company blocked Scott’s efforts to release new records for nearly 20 years. Savoy Records dropped the matter in the 1970s. By that time, Scott had returned to Cleveland,

where he worked as a hotel clerk and nursing home aide before returning to the stage in 1985 and resuming his recording career in 1990. Scott was born in Cleveland on July 17, 1925. He had a difficult childhood in East Cleveland, losing his mother, who cultivated his passion for music, in a traffic accident at age 13. His first claim to fame came in 1949 when he recorded the vocals as “Little Jimmy Scott” for the Lionel Hampton Band’s “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool.” His name never

appeared on the record, and he never received royalties from the jukebox hit. He was roommates with Quincy Jones as the band traveled the world. “I am so deeply saddened at the news that my friend and brother Jimmy Scott has left us,” Jones said in a written statement. “If you don’t believe that Jimmy was one of the most influential jazz singers of his day, all you have to do is listen to his recordings ‘Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool’ and ‘Why Was I Born.”’ At age 67, Scott was

rediscovered by a Warner Bros. Records executive who heard him sing at a friend’s funeral, and the result was “All the Way.” He went on to release several more recordings, including the jazz-gospel album “Heaven,” for the Sire and Milestone labels, and appeared on Reed’s 1992 recording “Magic and Loss.” He was also the subject of a documentary film “Jimmy Scott: If You Only Knew” and a biography “Faith In Time: The Life of Jimmy Scott.” In 2007, he received the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Award, the nation’s highest jazz honor. In a 2007 interview with the NEA, Scott discussed what makes a great vocalist: “There’s times, in certain songs, that I might be in my own world and who cares about who’s out there, you know? You have a job to do so you do that job of singing that song or telling that story because that’s what you’re doing. If you’re singing, you’re telling a story. So to tell it and tell it right, that’s it.” He married Jeanie Scott 10 years ago. “He was an Earth angel,” she said. “He was different from any person I ever met. He was kind, humble. Everyone he met he made them feel special. He had a hard life, but he didn’t hold any resentment.” Scott stopped touring two years ago but continued recording until about a month before his death, his wife said. He is expected to be buried in Cleveland.

Actress Angelina Jolie honored by Queen Elizabeth II

LONDON (AP) — Angelina Jolie can add royal recognition to Hollywood stardom. The Oscar-winning actress has been named an honorary dame — the female version of a knight — by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. Jolie, a United Nations special envoy, received the honor on Friday for her work combating sexual violence in war zones. Jolie, who won a supporting actress Academy Award in 2000 for “Girl, Interrupted,” has spoken of scaling back her movie roles to focus on humanitarian work. She said that “to receive an honor related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to.” Because she is not a British or Commonwealth citizen, Jolie won’t be entitled to use the title “dame” before her name. Previous U.S. recipients of honorary knighthoods include director Steven Spielberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former President Ronald Reagan. Jolie, who was in London this week to co-host an international summit on sexual violence, was among hundreds of people recognized in the queen’s annual Birthday Honors List for services to their community or national life. Most of the honors go to people who are not in the limelight — from soldiers and civil servants to academics and entrepreneurs —

but there is always a sprinkling of famous names. Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis was made a knight “for services to drama” and can now call himself Sir Daniel. The actor, who won Academy Awards for “My Left Foot,” “There Will Be Blood” and “Lincoln,” said he was “entire-

ly amazed and utterly delighted in equal measure.” There were damehoods for novelist Hilary Mantel, author of prize-winning Tudor page-turners “Wolf Hall” and “Bring Up the Bodies,” and for fashion designer Zandra Rhodes. Actress Maggie Smith, who plays the imperious Dowager

Countess of Grantham on TV’s “Downton Abbey,” was made a Companion of Honor, an award limited to 65 people “of distinction.” “Homeland” star Damian Lewis was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE. The British actor said he was

“very surprised but very happy” with the honor. “I decided to do the very unBritish thing of accepting the compliment,” Lewis said. OBEs also went to Beatles expert and author Hunter Davies, musician Talvin Singh, and John Simpson, longtime editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. In the field of science, there was a knighthood for physicist Thomas Kibble, whose work contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson — the so-called “God particle.” Among those honored for charity work was the late Stephen Sutton, a teenager who raised 4 million pounds ($6.8 million) while battling terminal cancer. Sutton, who died in May at age 19, was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE. Sylvia Lancaster, who founded a campaign against hate crime after her daughter, Sophie, was attacked and killed by a gang of youths in 2007 because of her Goth appearance, received an OBE. Recipients covered a wide range of achievements, from confectioner Chantal Coady, honored “for services to chocolate making,” to civil service debt manager Barry Cox — “for services to debt” — and Arthur Dean, president of the Dwarf Sports Association. He was recognized for services to people with restricted growth and to disabled sport.

C4 Sunday, June 15, 2014 DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: Lately I have been having problems with my live-in boyfriend, “Ethan.” We fight about everything, and he refuses to admit when he’s wrong. Ethan has been sleeping on the couch for a week waiting for me to take the first step and reconcile. He isn’t working and I am, and that is probably what has him so mad. I pay all the bills, and he thinks I feel superior because I’m bringing in money and he’s not. We argue day and night, swear and scream at each other, and he does not appreciate everything I’m doing so we can survive. I have two

daughters, he has one, and I’m supporting all of us. Do you think it’s a good idea for us to have a baby? Ethan is desperate for a child with me — even though we can’t get along or communicate. MARY JANE IN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR MARY JANE: Not only do I think it’s not a good idea, but I think it’s a terrible idea. Babies are expensive, and you’re already carrying a heavy load. I suspect that Ethan thinks a baby will fix what’s wrong in your relationship, but he’s wrong. Don’t do it! It would be a huge mistake. ##### DEAR ABBY: In the summer of 1995, I was a 12-year-old girl living in a motel in a suburb of Cleveland with my mother, older brother and younger sister. We were poor and very hungry. My mother led my younger sister and me to a doughnut shop for our only meal of the day. After waiting for everyone to leave, my mother

COMICS

approached the young woman behind the counter and asked to buy some doughnuts with our foreign coins. It was the only money we had. Instead of turning us away, she told my mother: “We’re allowed to give away a certain number of free doughnuts every day. Just tell me what you want.” (I don’t know if this was true.) It was because of her kindness that my family ate that day. If that kind woman is reading this, I want to say: “Thank you. You made the hunger go away for just a little bit, so a mother and her children could go a day without pain. You remain forever in a little girl’s heart.” URSALA IN MESSINA, ITALY

DEAR ABBY: Once a year I invite my mother, who lives in Arizona, to visit me in California. This year, Mom has decided to bring one of my sisters along because “she really needs a vacation.” My sisters live in the same city as Mom and can visit her anytime they please. I see Mom once a year at most, and I do not want to share my limited time with her. How do I let my sisters know they’re not welcome without causing a family rift? WANTS QUALITY TIME WITH MOM

DEAR URSALA: I, too, hope your benefactor sees your letter. Her generosity that day provided nourishment not only for your bodies, but also for your faith in the humanity of others — and I am sure you have emulated her example in the years that have followed. After all, isn’t that what acts of kindness are all about? #####

DEAR WANTS: You shouldn’t have to tell your sisters. The person you need to tell is your mother, who should not have invited anyone without clearing it with you first. Because you’re having trouble with what to say to her, read her the second paragraph of your letter to me. She may have been well-meaning, but she was misguided.

Athletic clothing sure can get stinky! As soon as your son gets home, air out his clothes. Don’t stuff them in a hamper unless they are dry. Turn each piece inside-out before washing. For shirts, rub a little full-strength laundry detergent into the armpit area. Put the clothes into the washer, but don’t cram it full; the clothing won’t rinse clean if the washer is too full. Use a lot of water and rinse a second time, then air-dry. After washing, smell the clothes. If they still stink, pour vinegar onto the smelly area. Let sit for a few minutes and then repeat. Vinegar will kill any bacteria. Then wash again. Have another tough stain you need help getting out? Order my Handy Stain Guide for Clothing pamphlet. To receive, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. When treating a stain, place a paper towel underneath the stain to keep it from going through the fabric. Heloise ##### Dear Readers: A Sound Off was written about bottles for medications being too large and only half-full. Here is what a couple of readers had to say about it: Sue B. in Omaha, Neb., wrote: “I think the underlying reason is marketing. If consumers see a bigger bottle with 100 capsules in it next to a smaller bottle with 100 capsules in it, they tend to choose the larger bottle because it looks like the better deal.” S.G. in Santa Ana, Calif., wrote, “There are so many requirements made for proper labeling information that they need the larger bottles, just to have space.” Thanks for the letters. They definitely make you think. Heloise
